[PATCH] reiserfs: fix unaligned bitmap usage

From: Jeff Mahoney
Date: Thu Mar 02 2006 - 13:23:08 EST


The bitmaps associated with generation numbers for directory entries
are declared as an array of ints. On some platforms, this causes alignment
exceptions.

The following patch uses the standard bitmap declaration macros to
declare the bitmaps, fixing the problem.

Originally from Takashi Iwai.
